Design of Shrimp Skin-Based Nano-Biodegradable Material for Eco-Friendly Food Packaging
Downloads
Background. The problem of plastic waste from food packaging continues to increase and poses a serious threat to the environment. The development of biodegradable-based eco-friendly packaging materials is one of the solutions that is getting more and more attention, especially those that come from organic waste such as shrimp skins that are rich in chitin.
Purpose. This research aims to design a nano-biodegradable material based on shrimp skin that can be used as environmentally friendly food packaging, by evaluating its mechanical strength, water resistance, biodegradability ability, and application effectiveness in real conditions.
Method. The research uses laboratory experiment methods with a quantitative approach. The shrimp skin is extracted into chitosan, then modified into a nanoform using the ionic gelation technique. Performance tests include tensile strength analysis, water contact tests, biodegradation tests, as well as application case studies on fresh fruit packaging.
Results. The developed material shows high mechanical strength, good water resistance, and decomposes perfectly in a humid soil environment in less than 30 days. Direct application to the fruit shows effectiveness in maintaining freshness and preventing microbial contamination.
Conclusion. The design of nano-biodegradable material from shrimp skin has the potential to be an alternative solution to plastic in food packaging, with ecological benefits and added value from the use of marine organic waste.
